About
Dr. Rei Mizuno is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgery for colorectal cancer, with a particular focus on patient selection, safety, and complex multi-organ procedures. Their most impactful work, "Prediction of surgical difficulty in minimally invasive surgery for rectal cancer by use of MRI pelvimetry" (40 citations), established a novel preoperative tool to assess technical challenges, directly improving surgical planning and outcomes. Dr. Mizuno has also made significant contributions to geriatric surgery, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures in octogenarians. Their innovative approach is further evidenced by pioneering studies on simultaneous robotic resections for rectal cancer with prostatectomy or hysterectomy, as well as combined robotic and cystoscopic surgery for bladder invasion. Notably, Dr. Mizuno has explored the intersection of novel therapies and surgery, such as robot-assisted resection following ALTA sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids. Their recent large-scale, propensity score-weighted multicenter study (2025) provides compelling evidence that robotic surgery enhances survival in rectal cancer, solidifying their reputation as a key innovator in the field.
